No Longer a “CES virgin” – Thoughts After 2 Days at CES 2011: Tablets, TVs & Other Tech
In many ways, 2 days at CES 2011 (International Consumer Electronics Show) is not enough time to really absorb the show. I was only able to essentially pay only a few vendors any quality time, others were quick, short visits, and others were just walk throughs getting from one place to another.

The Portable HD Video Recorder Smackdown: Flip UltraHD vs Kodak Zi8
I came across a realization a few weeks ago. When doing a product review, it helps to supplement the writing with video. The problem was, I didnâ€™t have a good way to capture high-quality video with any of the older devices I have. I had tried with a built-in iSight as well as an external one, an older Sony camcorder…
